All lore inconsistencies solved.

The Engineer is a robot. He was part of an intergalactic fleet that was destroyed and his escape pod crashed on Nauvis. He is unable to craft an intergalactic ship due to there being crucial elements missing in the Nauvis galaxy. He needs high SPM from rockets to send a distress signal. He is worth picking up as he is an advanced robot. It is worth wasting the resources on Nauvis to do so because there are infinite resources in the universe. However it is difficult to craft a new robot. The resources of the home planet therefore are still of value, making the robot indispensable. The resources and biters on Nauvis increase in size further out as they are geoorganic and a Gaian immune response, and act in response to the presence of the robot.

I don’t have any gaps on my bus. I use solar when I could use nuclear. I don’t use bots or mapview. I handcraft multiple items. And I don’t care.

The means by which the factory must grow must also grow.

My defenses are strong. I can pretty much be idle if I check the perimeter every hour. This means I lazily craft some things by hand as I can’t be bothered to automate them yet.

This theoretically gives me time to play a different Factorio save! I need a second Switch 2, LOL.
